29. New Friends

Wonho

Yesterday went well. Ish. In a way. Okay fine it was shitty.

First my sister almost got injured fighting a big ass Aitu then the shithead escapes and goes after Yoongis Mom. At least I got there in time to give the antidote. Otherwise she'd be another tragic loss.

Fai called and filled me in on what went down in that household last night. From the new inmates but old acquaintances, to moving in, to the Rambo scene between Ariah and Jimin. Don't know what happened between em but whatever it is, from the sound of it? Not so pretty.

"Yeah like she legit deadass told him NEVER to speak to her ass ever again unless it had to do with lessons like daaammnnnn fam that's some harsh shit!" I remember her screaming through the phone.

So yeah, I'm tired as fuck from playing Superman and now I'm a lil edgy to see what kind of mood Ariahs in. Don't wanna get on her bad side like a certain someone. Gotta be honest though, I kinda feel bad for the dude. But hey, shit is looking up for me right? Opportunity in every tragedy.

"Heeeeeyyyyyy Wonho." I felt someones hands sliding up my back, around my neck.

It wasn't hard to tell who it was. I rolled my eyes, pushing her hands off to face her. "Not now HyeJin please. I'm tired."

Hungry eyes gave me a good up and down. And did her uniform get tighter? Is that possible? "Hhhmmmmm. Not now? Maybe later then?"

I sighed, nodding. Anything to get rid of her. "Sure. Later. I guess."

She tiptoed, landing a sloppy kiss on my cheek. And yeah, there was tongue. "I'll be waiting."

She winked, walking in the half full classroom. A few months back I would've taken my chances with her, but things are different now.

So if she thinks I'm the slightest bit interested, she's gonna be in for a ride real soon. I shook my head turning back in the direction I knew Ariah would be coming from.

Seeing her already standing there, most likely witnessing what just happened was a big ass slap in my face. No, it was more like shedding season. Painful. Like a chainsaw to the guts.

If she was pissed, she didn't show it, just walked on down like she couldn't give less than a fuck.

Ahhh shit. Not good.

"Hey, hows-" She didn't acknowledge me for shit. Just walked right past me, straight into class.

Are you fucking serious?!

I followed her in, sitting in my regular seat which was 3 seats ahead of the snake. So I was diagonal of Ariah, getting the best view of her 'fuck off' face.

Hye Jin seemed to notice too, shrugging when I looked at her.

Jimin sulked in after, his head hanging low. Maybe in disappointment or shame. Or both.

I watched him take his seat, glancing over at Ariah before turning back to his desk.

She scoot to the farthest edge of her seat, tucking her curls back to reveal the earphones she had on.

I felt relief sweep through my scales. That must be why I got ignored. She couldn't hear me.

"Yahhh. What's with the gloomy mood in here? I'm alive aren't I?" Turning to face the front, I smiled watching my enthusiastic sister stroll in with her materials and the biggest smile on her face.

"Maybe some people didn't do the reading?" I joked.

The class laughed.

She rolled her eyes at me. "Oh puhhlease I'm sure everyone in here loved me enough to do it. Right?"
